US Crypto Adoption Sees Resurgence, Bitcoin Remains Dominant, According to Deutsche Bank

The US crypto market has experienced a notable rebound, with participation rates recovering to 12% in March from a low of 7% in February, marking a return to levels last seen in July 2025, according to a retail survey conducted by Deutsche Bank. The survey, which polled 3,400 consumers across the US, UK, and EU, found that bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a significant resurgence in March, attracting approximately $1.3 billion in net inflows, signaling renewed institutional demand. Analysts Marion Laboure and Camilla Siazon noted that US crypto adoption rates have recovered after steadily declining since July 2025. Meanwhile, crypto prices have shown signs of stabilization following a volatile start to 2026, with bitcoin rising roughly 9% in March to recover toward the $70,000 level. Despite the recovery, consumer sentiment on bitcoin's price outlook remains subdued, with a majority of respondents expecting the cryptocurrency to trade lower than current levels by the end of 2026. However, bitcoin remains the dominant player in the crypto market, with roughly 70% of crypto investors holding the asset, and it is also the top choice for future investment.
